ya I think I'll try the glass one first and get the diamond one later. like march when there's not so many new mac collections lol (mac eats my wallet)I use Herome but that's only because it's widely available here. I never tried Sephora's files but I have no reason to think they're not good (I really like some of their brushes). But the diamond one may be easier on the nails and last much longer. A glass file is actually a great investment because it's something you'll use for ages... unless you drop and break it. So I'd say go for the diamond one. But if you're not sure if you'll like using a glass file and just want to try, the Sephora one may be a better bet.

Good call. Run for your life and forget this thread ever existed. Those cute NPs? They ain't cute! They are the devil's spawn. First they get into your mind. Then they get into your dreams. Before you know it the little sods have siphoned your bank account into oblivion.OMG I'd better go out of this thread, every polish I see is about to eat my wallet too ( kidneys euh not yet lol )
Spring collections are so amazing !
RUN!!!

No waaayyyyy Mac-Guy!!! You ARE my kindred spirit. Yorkie is the only breed of dog I've ever owned! I've had two tea cups & one standard, and I loved them. Two were females, one male---sweet, funny, playful...I could go on & on. I got them from breeders. I got the second one after my first husband died. My daughter and I were distraught and I figured a dog would help us. Boy did she ever! She died of natural causes about three years ago and I haven't been able to replace her...I struggle with this emotionally because I don't just want another dog...I want her. I swear I'm working hard to deal with this because I know I can love another little Yorkie just as much. In fact, I've recently started looking for breeders again. One that I used no longer breeds and the other died. I'm going to take the plunge. My daughter can have her cats---I want my Yorkie!!!!Don't do it, otherwise you'll be in trouble.Creative grooming is expensive, but oh-so-much fun. It's like buying make up, but it's for your pet. Maybe you could settle for a nail design for your cats? There are literally hundreds of pawlishes that you can pick. If you have a steady hand, you could probably do it yourself.
PS: Yorkie (steel blue/tan)

@ Prettypackages - I'm still tweaking my manicure and pedicure routine, but here are my current staples. The last two items I learned about right in this thread. (Thanks honey on boost!)
I'm going to try out a glass file next. I asked about them previously, but I think my question got lost in the shuffle. I'm currently on the hunt for a new base coat and top coat. I definitely prefer fast drying top coats. I've been using Seche Vite top coat until it turned gloopy. But like Buick said, I think I'm just going to have to accept the fact that they get gloopy over time. I'm also on the look out for a new cuticle remover.
- Zoya Remove+ nail polish remover
- Graham Professional HandsDown Ultra Nail & Cosmetic Pads
- OPI Drip Dry Lacquer Drying Drops

Thanks for sharing the info. Oh no, my first order was shipped Jan. 15th. Looks like I'm a day late and a dollar short. I don't think my other two orders have shipped. I still hope my first order squeezed through. That one has Dragon and Saint George in it. Those are the two polishes I want the most.

Even if your order was shipped after the new rules it doesn't necessarily mean it's been rejected/destroyed/whatever by Royal Mail. I suspect a lot of items to have slipped off the radar in the first week or two of implementation.
I hope that's what happened with my Illamasqua lot anyway. According to the Royal Mail website it's being processed. Well, it sure is taking its time! Here's what the website says: "Your item, posted on 15/01/13 with reference RQ398399486GB has been received and is being forwarded to our international mail center"
Hmmm. I'm going to give the order a couple more days and if it's still nowhere to be seen I'm going to drop Illamasqua an e-mail.

Isn't llarowe in England too? That sucks majorly. I haven't had any problems with ordering nps from the US ever, but I don't like it particularly because of the stupid taxes. I prefer ordering from the UK. Illamasqua is there too. Sigh. I hope that all Ladies from the US get their orders! Kimibos, good to see you about!
